A few pages into The Glass Woman, the reader could be forgiven for expecting a poor woman’s Before I go to Sleep. I did for a good 20 pages but soon realized this book is so much more than that very fine novel about a woman whose memories are erased every day. The glass woman of the McIlroy’s novel is Iris Henderson, 35, a research scientist with technology company Sila. We first meet her in hospital where she is recouping from a mysterious surgical procedure.

Our relationship with AI is ripe for Prospero/Ariel allusions, only it is increasingly unclear who the magus is. In Shakespeare’s The Tempest, sorcerer Prospero rescues Ariel from imprisonment in a tree, but then enslaves the spirit, who carries out Prospero’s demands in order to gain freedom. In my debut novel, The Glass Woman, a female neuroscientist trials a pioneering AI brain implant called Ariel.
